— zerohedge (@zerohedge) September 26, 2026 Gonna be on the sidelines for another fight (I disagree with any action there but if it's to be then the Marines should be there). At best a token force.

NOW: Several large explosions have been heard in Sirik, southern Iran, and in the Strait of Hormuz.

Local sources are reporting “a serious naval conflict” tonight, with at least one vessel being confirmed hit.
IRGC-N speedboats are also operating.
